Abit ip35 pro jbod RAID

I have three sata disks (1000GB, 500GB and 250GB) on intel controller and two IDE disks on jmicron controller (250GB and 160GB). Windows7 installed on 250GB disk.

I would like to enable jbod raid mode for IDE disks but I don't see any options in bios. Bios only has options to enable raid on intel controller. Any suggestions?
 
The JMicron controller is also for the 2 eSATA ports.
I suppose one could somehow use those for Raiding internal hard drives.
However, I would recommend moving any IDE HD's to external USB enclosures, for better system stability.
A JMicron controller with both IDE and SATA drives on it never seems to work very well.
 
well, my sata drives are on intel controller, not on jmicron and jmicron supports jbod while intel doesn't. And I already have three external enclosures ;-). I suppose I should move ide disks out of this computer, and I intend to... eventually.
But in the meantime I want to use them, and one big disk (which jbod raid creates) gives me more maneuvering space than two small ones.

Is there a way I can create some kind of good hardware raid array with three SATA disks which are 250GB, 500GB and 1TB big? Can I partition them somehow to achieve redundancy and performance provided by RAID?
 
AFAIK, Raid requires both HD's to be the same size, and preferably the exact same
brand and model number.
As far as combining 2 drives to make one logical drive:
Windows has that ability. Right-click My Computer/Manage/Disk Management.
